But now they can show receipts.

Don't get me wrong - lack of evidence of wrongdoing isn't going to stop these assholes. But every tiny shred of "legitimacy" goes a long way when it comes to swaying the low-information "on the fence" types.

If ICE gets access to our taxes, immigrants will stop paying.

Which feeds right into the fascist narrative and gives them another reason to round people up.

It is Nintendo so whatever they do is amazing and perfect but they probably wanted to use the same parts on both the pro controller and the joycons.

What? The stick hardware on the pro controller is essentially the same thing that's in Xbox and PlayStation controllers. The joycon stick hardware is much smaller.

There's a buffet place my spouse's friends were all gaga over. It was a bit of a drive so it took me a few years to actually agree to go. It was like $25 or $30 a person (but free if it's your birthday!) 15 years ago, so it's not like it was cheap. The first thing that struck me is how absolutely cavernous the place was. Like a Walmart filled with tables and food islands. Signs saying where to find certain types of food. That kind of thing.

I might have eaten $10 worth of food. And I have been known to pig out from time to time. But between the mediocre at best food and the "atmosphere"... yeah I had no plans on sticking around to try and get my money's worth.

I won't get to retire at all, so that means I'm fine, right?

...oh.

There's a kind of learned helplessness with some developers and tests. It's weird.

I got handed the keys to the network monitoring suite many moons ago. I immediately started editing the default alert actions to display relevant information, and in some outlier cases escalation procedures.

Most times, it was ignored. Other times, it was skimmed and half-followed. A few people outright refused to do anything differently than they had before (kick it up the ladder).

Glad to be rid of that place.

That's what the "quasi-" part denotes.

Hence "quasi-royalty."

Frederick does not approve. And don't go giving Robin any ideas.

Hades only knows.

Then one must imagine Sisyphus lazy. Repetitive toil in exchange for the right to exist is simply the natural order.

I'm surprised they're still documenting cases.

I dunno, I think SMCF pretty much nailed it. Calling UBI and single payer "moderate" is a pretty big flag, and rejecting any "hippie shit" was a nice flourish.

Without suffering, there is no enjoyment.

And yet even with suffering, there is also no enjoyment. Welcome to treatment resistant persistent depressive disorder!

Can't wait for Medicaid to get axed so I can go live in a concentration camp.

But then we forego the peace achieved by appreciating the rewards inherent to making boulder go up.

Boulder must go up.

Let me know if you find any of that trash on Nebula.

I feel like that's being too kind.
